This applies to all your transactions and not just those in Shyft. It is your responsibility to make sure you stay within this limit. As a foreign national, you may not buy Foreign Currency with funds that you brought into the country or which are ring-fenced. Only funds which you have received or earned in South Africa can be used.

If you pay in a currency that is not the domestic currency of the country of the beneficiary’s bank, the recipient may receive less than what you’ve sent.

If you are a Foreign National, you may not make an International Payment with funds you brought into the country or which are ring- fenced. In addition, only funds which you have received or earned in South Africa can be used.

You will receive an email when the payment has been sent. This email may take a few days (up to 3 working days) to arrive. This does not confirm receipt of funds by the beneficiary, only sending of the payment. Only your beneficiary or their bank is able to confirm the actual receipt of the funds.

No, all payments for the purpose of purchasing crypto currency will be unsuccessful as they currently fall outside of our risk appetite.

USD payments to a beneficiary in the USA are made through the domestic ACH network and fall under the category of electronic payment (often referred to as direct deposit or ACH payments). These payments are not wire payments. Please ensure to enter the ABA number for direct deposit or ACH payment in the ABA field when creating a beneficiary.

是的，您必须拥有标准银行往来或储蓄账户。如果尚未拥有上述账户，可以按照登录流程的指示，获得一个新的银行账户。当所有注册信息提交完成后，本行的客服人员将会以电话方式跟您联系，并协助您完成开立标准银行账户的流程。

ZAR钱包充值
如何将兰特存入ZAR钱包？

您需要使用电子资金转账（EFT）功能，将兰特转入您的Shyft银行账户。在Shyft应用中进入ZAR钱包，”Topup your ZAR Wallet”，并按照指示操作。请记住，在使用EFT功能时，您需要填写您的识别码，以便将资金迅速体现在您的钱包内。

您注册Shyft应用后，会收到一封含有您的识别码的激活邮件。此外，您还可以在应用中的个人菜单里找到该识别码，或者点击ZAR现金页面上的“Top up”按钮。

请将您的支付凭证发送至 support@getshyft.co.za，我们将协助追踪您的支付，并更新您的ZAR钱包余额。请确保您准确无误地输入您的识别码。该识别码可在应用的个人菜单中查询 如果您从其他银行进行EFT电子资金转账，按照正常的工作流程，您的资金将在2个工作日内体现。如果2天后您仍未收到转账，请将支付凭证发送至 support@getshyft.co.za。

选择ZAR现金页面，点击“request refund”，输入您想要退款的金额，并确认退款请求。请注意，标准银行将从退款总额中扣除35兰特的手续费。退款仅能退回到您原先关联至Shyft应用时填写的银行账户。
购买外币
什么是SDA?

单次酌情限额（SDA）是南非储备银行（SARB）设置的购买外币限制。对于拥有有效南非ID的南非永久居民， SDA的总额为每年一百万兰特，可用于“离岸活动”。这一限额包含您的所有交易， 而不仅是您通过Shyft进行的交易。您应确保您的交易不超过上述限额。作为外籍人士， 您不能使用带入本国的资金或绝缘防范性资金购买外币。您只能使用您在南非收入的资金进行外币购买。 您只能在有效的工作许可期限内购买您的标准银行账户允许限额的外币。

BOP是指支付余额（Balance of Payments)，是提供给南非税务局和相关金融监管机构的报告， 告知所有汇出南非的资金数额及汇款用途。对于拥有有效南非ID的南非永久居民，所有Shyft交易都记录在BOP分类码511 04类别——与投资收入无关的居民外国投资——向境外银行存款。对于外籍人士，所有交易都记录在BOP分类码417类别——外籍合同务工人士汇款——不含补贴。

如果您通过Shyft进行效益的限额超过了一百万的限额，您的账户在今年内将被冻结。请确认， 您必须确保您其他产品的交易金额也同时不超过限额。您可以在Shyft应用的个人菜单页面查询您已经购买的外币金额。 对于外籍人士，如果您的工作许可过期或失效，或您已达到当期购买外币的限额，您将不再能够通过Shyft购买外币， 但仍可通过已经购买的外币进行国际支付，以及用于您的虚拟和/或实体银行卡。

在ZAR钱包中存入兰特之后，点击导航栏中间的交易按钮，选择“Buy Foreign Currency”，选择外币币种和购买数额，并确认购买。

标准银行对外汇交易收取一定的费用。这一费用包含在您购买外币时使用的实时汇率中。您看到的价格即是您实际的交易价格，使用Shyft购买外币无需支付额外费用。

您需要使用Shyft 应用，创建一个南非银行账号作为收款人，之后通过国际支付向您的账号汇入钱款。 此类交易将被视作一般的国际支付，并在汇到您的账户时自动兑换为ZAR。此类交易将收取国际交易费用， 兑换费用以收款银行为准。此外，中转行也可能收取一定的手续费。请注意这些额外费用并非由 Shyft收取。 Shyft不对汇入南非账户的外币转换成本币的汇率负责，也不对任何由此收取的费用负责。如果您有任何汇入钱款相关的问题， 请联系您的开户行的汇入汇款部门。
转账
如何添加收款人？

点击导航面板上的交易按钮，点击“Send Money”，选择“add beneficiary”，选择您要转入的账户类型，并输入其他相关信息，以创建收款人。

每笔国际支付将收取固定的费用，取决于转出方的币种。转入标准的国际银行账户，按照下列标准收费：美元：每笔14美元； 英镑：每笔10英镑；欧元：每笔12欧元；澳元：每笔18澳元. 对于收款方位于标准银行曼岛、泽西岛，以及使用储值账户创建的 WebTrader 收款人账户，采取下列收费标准： 美元：每笔10美元; 英镑：每笔8英镑; 欧元：每笔9欧元; 澳元：每笔13澳元. Shyft在每次支付完成前清晰展示每笔交易收取的手续费。

如果您转入的币种不是收款银行所在国的流通货币，该收款人收到的金额将少于您转出的金额。 中转银行也将收取额外的费用，并且收款银行会将货币兑换为本国流通货币。这意味着，收款人最终收到的钱款金额未定。

向国际银行账户转账限额如下：
美元：75,000;
英镑：55,000;
欧元：60,000;
澳元：90,000.
拥有有效南非ID的南非永久居民用户每年最多可转出一百万兰特。 外籍人士不得使用带入南非的资金或绝缘防范性资金进行国际支付。此外，只有在南非境内的收入才可进行此类支付。

款项汇出后3个工作日内，您将收到一封邮件。该邮件并非确认收款人已经收到款项，仅表明款项已经成功汇出。只有收款人及其银行才能确认款项是否已经收到。

收款人可向您提供上述信息。

仅在特定的情况下可以撤销汇款。取决于汇款在途时间。使用Shyft应用的聊天功能，联系技术支持团队尝试撤销汇款。技术人员会回答您是否可以撤销。

列表仅显示支持汇款的国家。

付给收款人的款项不允许进行下列活动：赌博（付给赌场）； 任何与武器交易相关的支付活动；任何类型的成人娱乐；购买毒品/吸毒用品。

BEB码：一个BSB（支行代码）是一个6位数字的识别码，可用于识别澳大利亚境内的银行及其支行。字符之间不要输入空格。确保您从收款人那里获得正确的号码。

何为虚拟银行卡？

虚拟银行卡与实体银行卡不同，可用于互联网网店采购。它的功能与其他类型的信用卡相同，并支持下列货币：美元、澳元、英镑和欧元。
